After a study of twentieth century Russian political parties\u00a0(Bolsheviks, Mensehviks, Kadets, Social Revolutionaries…), students should summarise\u00a0the fundamental beliefs, objectives\u00a0and membership of each.<\/p>\n
The same principle could be applied to ideologies (Fascists, Social Democrats, Democratic Socialists, Liberals, Communists) or to civil rights organisations in the USA (NAACP, SCLC, CORE, SNCC).<\/p>\n
The idea could even be used to summarise the beliefs, actions, successes and failures of individuals being studied as a concluding task after a\u00a0balloon debate<\/a>\u00a0or a\u00a0knowledge cube<\/a>\u00a0exercise.<\/p>\n In order to identify change over time, students could design different logos for different periods for the same organisation to highlight its changing objectives, tactics and membership.<\/p>\n In order to provide some written detail alongside each logo, students should decide upon a slogan to go underneath\u00a0each logo.<\/p>\n Each logo could be turned into a display piece in the form of a demonstration placard, with viewers encouraged to read about each organisation and decide which one they would have belonged to or had most sympathy with.<\/p>\n Another presentation\u00a0idea would be to set up a ‘play with the display’\u00a0with other students invited to spot connections and contrasts between logos in the form of a\u00a0Venn diagram<\/a>,\u00a0Triangulation<\/a>\u00a0or\u00a0Matrix Grid<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Overview After studying individuals, parties or organisations,\u00a0challenge students to design a logo which summarises their essential aims, methods, successes and failures.
